Today the question is simple, will you stop using face mask in flight at the same time that the authorities begin little by little to lift their mandatory?

It seems that every day that advances we get closer to the normality of day to day, although the virus has not gone away, it seems that we are learning to live with it and to understand that it is here to stay like other diseases.

In this way, the authorities of several countries have begun to lift the mandatory use of face mask, some only in open places, others in full, but the point here is that it seems that the end of the days of this personal protection device are coming.

Will you stop wearing the mask when you travel?

Let's go straight to the question and I invite you to answer here:

Maybe some feel ready, others not yet, but the important thing here is that the use of the mask will be optional, as it has always been (look at the case of countries like Japan that people who have a cold have always used it voluntarily).

So, If you decide to wear the mask despite the fact that this restriction is lifted in your country, it is very good and no one should judge you or even look at you badly., we are all free to make our own decisions, but for those who decide not to use it, should take into account some very important points for a flight.

When should or shouldn't you wear a mask??

Now with some countries ceasing to force its use on flights and others still doing so, we may have some conflicts and problems between passengers, local authorities and crew. For instance, American Airlines says this about it:

Please note that face masks may still be required depending on local ordinances, or when traveling to or from certain international locations based on country requirements.

As the United States is one of these countries that no longer requires its use in means of transport, we will do the following practical example:

  • Miami Flight – Lima on an American airline:
    • Should I wear a mask in flight? No, its use is optional.
    • Should I wear a mask when I get off the plane and step on the airport? Yes, its use is mandatory.
  • Flight Bogota – New York on a Colombian airline:
    • Should I wear a mask in flight? Yes, its use is mandatory.
    • Should I wear a mask when I get off the plane and step on the airport? No, its use is optional.

As we can see in these practical examples, everything will depend on the local conditions and restrictions of each country, let us understand that an airplane is considered the territorial extension of a state, so if we fly on a US airline we will not be required to wear the mask, but if you land and when you step on the airport this nation requires its use, you must comply with local regulations.

Are you ready to leave behind face mask?
